Manhunt for Daniel Proctor: Homicide of Amy Patterson of Florida

There is a national manhunt underway for Daniel Proctor (pictured above) from the Lee County Sheriff' in Florida.

Amy Patterson, 41 pictured above with her estranged boyfriend, Daniel Proctor has not been seen since July 29, 2011. Amy was a teacher at Mariner Middle School in Cape Coral Florida.

When Daniel Proctor unexpectedly popped in for a visit to see his month in Alabama, arriving in Amy's vehicle. His mother asked where was Amy ? He told her she was in Texas. Something was amiss and when she called the school where Amy worked she learned no one had seen her in a month. She kicked her son out of the home. Then she called the Sheriff's office and made a report.

Daniel Proctor at one point when asked told police "Amy died in a car accident." It is because of that statement he made to law enforcement the case was changed from missing person to "domestic homicide." Now they are looking for him. I wish more departments were as on the ball and aggressive when a woman "suddenly vanishes." But it rarely happens that way. Very few law enforcement agencies have training in the area of intimate partner violence and homicide.

Daniel Proctor's statement that Amy died in a car accident is an announcement to the world that he killed her. He considered armed and dangerous.

Police are asking anyone with any information pertaining to Amy Patterson and Daniel Ray Proctor is urged to contact the Lee County Sheriff's Office in Florida at (239) 477-1075 or the Madison County Sheriff's Office at (256) 722-7181.

The Lee County Sheriff should also have the family register the case with the CUE Center for Missing Persons, a national search and recovery organization working with law enforcement and families of the missing. www.ncmissingpersons.org or 910-232-1687

How to Prepare and Plan to Leave the Abusive Relationship

With so many high-profile cases of missing women in thenews, unsolved, suspicious deaths and cold cases wherevictims seeking a divorce have vanished without a trace or found murdered, I am urging everyone to speak out by spreading the word that a prescription for safety is now available. The video below is one key ingredient to a victim's safety.

I often hear women involved in domestic violence say, “I cannot leave or I'm unable to even pack a bag and sneak it to the car.” Another common problem is when a woman says, “He is constantly watching me, stalking me or he has a tracker on my computer, cell phone or vehicle.”

For most victims the fear of getting beat up or even killed by their significant other if they are caught trying to leave can be paralyzing. Most victims of domestic violence and or stalking do not realize that the person in the relationship is committing a crime. Domestic violence and stalking is against the law.

But for those fearful or unable to seek service from a domestic violence shelter provider, there is a book available that will take a victim from living in fear to a plan, with a roadmap to safety.

The abuser has a plan to control, manipulate and harm. A victim must have a plan that involves being ten steps ahead of their husband or boyfriend when they cannot call police or seek services outside the home because it could be too dangerous for the victim and her children.

Remember, the most important step a victim must do is prepare before they announce the relationship is ending. If something does happen, if you or a loved one suddenly goes missing like Stacy Peterson, Vensus Stewart, Rachel Anderson, Susan Powell, Lisa Stebic, or are found murdered like Monica Beresford-Redmond, Franki Jacobson, Renee Pagel and others, where the person responsible has gotten away with murder, the victim's voice and record of the abuse will be captured and recorded (see below). Do it for your community, friends, family and loved ones.

Do it for the children.

If you are a victim do it for you!
